>>>>>>Actually (to clarify my title) I would like to change the file date (.jpg) from Date Modified to Date Created. When I am looking at the properties of a picture I see the Modified Date (actual date when the picture was taken) and the Date Created (the date when I copied the picture to the folder, today's date). In order for me to sort/order the pictures by the date when the pictures were taken I need to reverse these dates. Or just change the Date Created to match the Date Modified. Can I do it? TIA.

Thank you, Victor. As I mentioned in my message to myself, I jumped the gun. The date when the picture was taken is the date used by OS when sorting files.
